Buffalo Chicken Chili in the Slow Cooker

I'm a sucker for good advertising.  Especially with recipes.  If I see a recipe with THE BEST in the title, well, I'm GOING to try it!  It's the BEST, right? 



By putting words like Award Winning, The Most Incredible, or The Best Ever, in front of a recipe, works for me. It is telling me that I just have to try it! 



So that's how it was when I saw Biz's Best Buffalo Chili Recipe!  I somehow knew it wouldn't be just any chili recipe.
